The Canon T-90 System

Modern Classic SLRs Series :
Canon T-90 - Message Board/Guestbook

The Canon T-90 was the last model that uses FD-mount prior to the shift to the autofocus EF EOS system. It hardly lasted a year since its inception but what an impact it has created on the design of future SLR. Every inch a classic, despite after more than 15 years, this camera is still hard to replicate even by today's standard. It was also widely acclaimed as one of the true Classic camera of modern times. Here comes a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon T90 SLR model - this is especially useful when you realize ALL Canon FD mount SLRs have long been discontinued you may require a public forum for common support and sharing mutual knowledge or experience among many of you. This Site has proved to be quite popular and I am quite happy to see these effort was not wasted and special thanks to ALL the volunteered Site Maintainers of this Message Board. Enjoy.

Can anybody help me? I have a T90. The display shows "Help". I think that the back-up battery ist empty, because the age of my T90 is over 10 years. My problem is, can I change the back-up battery themself and when, where is the local place of these and when not must I do my camera to the repair shop and what the price for this changing? Or is this any other mistake? For help me in forward many thanks.

Gary & George, I just took a quick look and found this. If you're ambitious, and confident, good luck. I've never had to try this myself, so I won't offer any comment on how difficult, or how safe, this is.

Here's how to change the internal battery: You'll need a small phillips screwdriver, I'm using #00. A pair of tweezers could come out handy, and a soldering iron, 25W or so. Also a large, clean working space. It's good idea to put all screws and parts in a row to make shure you put the right things on the right place. Taking notes is a good idea.

First take off the front plate. Three screws over and under the lens mount. Then loosen the screws on the little plate that holds the mechanism for opening the back on the left side of the camera. You don't have to take them completely off, just a few rounds. Wiggle the plate loose, and take off the front plate. This is where you tighten the lens mount if its loose. Then take off the top. Two screws on the front, one on the back, and one under the strap lug on the right side. Then pry out the rubber plug on the finder shutter lever with a needle. You can glue it back again using rubber cement. There's another screw under the plug.

Thn carefully lift the top off. There's a bunch of wires going to the hot shoe that you don't want to tear off. The battery is located on the right side of the prism. Ether fastened with a clip, or soldered to the circuit board. Be carefull with the flex boards, they tear off easily. I think the right size battey is CR1620, a 3v lithium cell. The original part with soldering tabs could be hard to get. I bet the battery is equal the the ones used in the current EOS cameras, so you can probably order one at Canon. While you're there, you can modidy the camera to leave the leader out on rewind. This is done by shorting two soldering pads on the left hand side of the prism, near the front. You can see the pads on one of the lower flex boards. Reassemble the camera again, and make shure that you don't mix up the screws or forgetting any parts. regards, Ketil"

Sirs I would agree that if used regularly the T90 seems not to need service but Mine did fail and I sent it to WWW.CanonT90.com Awesome job was done by this outfit.Fast and very clean.Two thumbs up and I'm glad someone is repairing these incredible cameras still.They also did my Canon F1n too!! I dont normally write when things go well only when things go bad but I had noticed some other comments on this site and thought I would add my positive experience of this repair outfit too!!

My T90 viewfinder LED-panel is black (I have checked the position of the viewfinder lever) Also is the illumination of the LED-panel on top not working. How can this be fixed? Otherwise the camera works OK.

Jesse -

The T-90 doesn't use a "cable" release in the proper sense of the term, but an electrical switch which is connected to the camera by a "cable" - an electrical cable, not a mechanical one. It has to terminate in a "T3" connector - although there are adapters I hear - which is shared by some of the EOS cameras, so they're not too hard to find. The connection is at the bottom front/side of the RH grip.

I can not speak highly of Steve Wright of Rockwall, Texas. He advertises that he repairs T90 and other cameras. I sent a camera for a relatively minor repair. After three frustrating months of various excuses I get a camera back that is completely ruined--not even worth selling for parts. Now I see on this web site that he has other complaint. I suggest caution in using him. I wish I had known more about this person. Jose D. Yaguirre
